Falana in a statement on Sunday, said contrary to reports, the search conducted on Dasuki's residence house was was legal and authorized by law, since the DSS obtained and presented him with a search warrant issued by a Magistrate.
He said: "The fundamental rights to personal liberty and privacy of the home of every Nigerian citizen are constitutionally guaranteed.
As fundamental rights are not absolute they may be breached in accordance with a procedure permitted by law.
"Hence, by virtue of section 146 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, the residence of any citizen can be searched with a warrant duly signed by a Judge, Magistrate or Justice of the Peace.
Section 149 thereof imposes a duty on any person residing in any building which is liable to be searched to allow free and unhindered access to it and afford all reasonable facilities for its search," Falana stated.

ReplyDeleteIndeed!!!
DeleteThis man suppose don loose em SAN since.... When Tinubu saw military men around his house and raised false alarm you said that it was illegal, this time around it is legal. At what point do an NSA turn to an ordinary civilian and what was the motive/outcome of that search? These questions will guide you a little.
ReplyDeleteBut he was no longer NSA. And there was a duly signed search warrant. Pls read before you comment.
DeleteNo one is above the law. He was the NSA cos the law permited dat and now the law is back to check what he did as NSA. He shld cooperate
DeleteDude is a wailing wailer.
Deletewhatever the current govt does must be in bad faith. instead of you to look and see if there would be further revelations or not, you jump into conclusions. Isnt it remotely possible that he was sponsoring BH to force the government to increase its military spendings?
I am totally surprised at number of cars recovered from fformer NSA . This shows how corrupt the man is and that is why he refused DSS access to his home because he didn't expect it.
ReplyDeleteIs there a law limiting the number of cars s former NSA can own?
DeleteHahahahaha actually no law limits the no of cars u can own but the difference here is that he could not provide the proof of ownwership for the bullet proofed cars gotten in his house. Abt 5 of them and equally a huge no of assault rifles and different guns were found in his house with no liscence to him and proof dat he owns dem. D DSS argued that why shld one man have all those guns dat he is capable of using them to cause troubles in a country and besides when they were not declared by him
